Théodore Géricault ventured into diverse artistic genres, he made substantial contributions to sculpture in addition to his accomplishments in painting. Notable among his sculptural works is Satyr and Nymph, conceived in stone, which is currently on display at the Museum of Rouen.

This sculpture is identical to the stone carving of Satyr and Nymph. The exact number of copies is unknown, but this is likely the only bronze cast of the original. Therefore, direct carving can be seen on the surface, created using tools such as a chisel and a graver. Géricault decided to carve the stone directly, bypassing the traditional method of creating a model in terracotta or plaster and then copying it methodically into marble. Instead, he attacked the block with a hammer and chisel, similar to Michelangelo's technique, and thus reversed the French disdain for Italian masters during the Ancien Régime, placing Michelangelo at the apex of artistic achievement for artists of the Romantic era.

The artwork features a scene depicting a satyr and a nymph. Géricault has portrayed the satyr in a manner that emphasises his masculinity. The poses of the two figures are also notable. In most depictions of this subject matter, in paintings or sculptures, the characters are typically shown standing in embrace. However, in Géricault's rendition, the satyr is depicted bending over the nymph, pressing her against the ground, a composition which makes you reconsider the power dynamic and consent within the relationship.
